The Morris household has been preparing for the release of the second Cars movie for months! Ethan has been wearing his Cars shirt, holding his stuffed Cars figures, jumping up and down at the commercials, reading his look and find Cars book, and pointing out all at the posters as we drive. So it was only appropriate that Ethan's first trip to the theater be the release of Cars 2. We tried to go to an early showing but it was too packed, so we bought our tickets for an after nap showing. Ethan ate lunch, had a great nap, and we headed off to the theater with plenty of time to get the perfect seats. Rich went in and saved our three seats (complete with a booster chair) and Ethan and I walked the lobby waiting for the show to begin. We took pictures in front of the giant Cars advertisement poster (you can see him pointing out Mater), talked about the upcoming movies, and with a few minutes to spare grabbed bag of popcorn. We took our perfect seats right as the movie was starting. Ethan sat watching the previews, his hand reaching over to get popcorn. He laughed at all of the funny previews, and pointed out all of the characters he recognized. It was movie going bliss....until the 30 minutes of previews ended. Ethan stood up out of his chair and announced, "I all done!"The next 45 minutes or so are a blur...there was a lot of trying to convince Ethan what proper theater etiquette does not include. I took Ethan back out to the lobby for a bit to see if that would help. When we returned, it was worse. He was not in it for the long haul. Rich and I finally surrendered, grabbed our little monkey, and left. We did however get passes for any movie, any time that we wish to go to. A nice gesture by the theater for parents who find themselves in these sorts of situations!
So, I am not sure if Rich and I will work up the courage to go back and try to see Cars in the theater or if we will just have to wait until it comes out on DVD!
